Upgrade your iPhone (and your travel game) with T-Mobile
When you upgrade to the latest iPhone model with T-Mobile, you're not just getting a great device — you're stepping into a travel-ready experience built on the nation's leading 5G network.
With Magenta Status, the T-Mobile experience follows you everywhere, from the moment you board a flight with free inflight Wi-Fi and streaming your favorite shows on the go to discounted fuel and free rental car refueling on unforgettable road trips.
It's about making every journey smoother, more connected and more rewarding without having to think twice.
What is Magenta Status — and why does it matter?
Magenta Status is built into qualifying T-Mobile plans, with no extra cost to access the benefits. Everything is available through the T-Life app, so it's easy to manage while you're on the go.
These benefits are just part of the Magenta Status experience designed to enhance your travel, all backed by T-Mobile's best network:
- Free inflight Wi-Fi: Stay connected while you fly with participating airlines, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines.
- Free streaming: Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV+ are included with your plan.
- Free roaming in Canada and Mexico: Travel across North America without worrying about extra charges.
- 15% off Hilton stays*: Book through the T-Life app, and complete your reservation directly with Hilton. All you need is a (free) Hilton Honors account and a one-night, nonrefundable deposit.
- Free rental car refueling with Dollar and Hertz: Skip the gas station before returning your car. This is valid at most U.S. airports (excluding large SUVs and trucks). Just book through the T-Life app. For example, on a recent trip, I paid $20 in fees after returning the car with a partially full tank; this perk would have covered it.
- Up to 40% off hotels and prepaid car rentals: Magenta Status members can save big on their next trip by booking through the app.
- 10 cents per gallon discount at Shell: This is a great perk for road trips or regular drivers. Every cent counts.
- Free AAA Classic membership: This complimentary membership is available to new or existing members.
- International data for less than $2 per day: Get up to 15 gigabytes per month with hot spot support, perfect for remote work or streaming abroad.
What is T-Satellite — and how can it help travelers stay connected?
T-Mobile's new service, T-Satellite with Starlink, works automatically on most modern smartphones from the last four years. No extra apps or new device needed.
Texting is already live. Starting in October T-Satellite-ready apps will be supported for essential services like weather, navigation and more.
This feature is especially helpful for:
- Campers and hikers
- Travelers in rural or remote areas
- Remote workers
- And anyone looking for the peace of mind that comes with being connected
Anywhere traditional service drops, satellite service steps in.
So, how much does it cost? It's free with Experience Beyond plans and $10 per month for others, including AT&T and Verizon customers (up to 12 lines per account).**
How to unlock these perks
Getting started is simple:
- Upgrade or switch to a qualifying T-Mobile Experience plan.
- Use the T-Life app to access all benefits.
- Link your Hilton Honors account in the app to receive hotel discounts.
- Try T-Satellite on your next remote adventure. Texting is already active, with more features on the way.
Bottom line
You won't believe what you get when you upgrade your iPhone at T-Mobile. You get the power of the best network, plus extras that add value to every trip. With T-Mobile, you'll stay connected, save along the way and enjoy a smoother travel experience wherever you go. That's Magenta Status.
